A Kippa-Ring resident is calling for urgent action at one of the suburb’s busiest intersections, claiming dangerous driving behaviour near a school zone is placing children at risk.
The concerns centre on the intersection of Hercules Road and Anzac Avenue, which sits within a 40km/h school zone and is used daily by students and families travelling to and from nearby schools.
The resident has spent months raising concerns with authorities, arguing that many motorists are failing to observe the reduced speed limit during school hours. He has also reported instances of vehicles allegedly running red lights and travelling at excessive speeds through the intersection.
According to the resident, several near misses involving children have occurred since the start of the current school term. He has also reported repeated incidents involving motorcycles allegedly travelling at extreme speeds through the school zone.
The resident is now pushing for a range of safety measures, including increased police enforcement during school drop-off and pick-up times, digital speed awareness signs and additional traffic-calming infrastructure.
Authorities Reviewing Concerns
The concerns have been raised with local and state representatives, with the intersection already under review by transport authorities.
State Member for Redcliffe Kerri-Anne Dooley said the issue had been brought to her attention and confirmed the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has been assessing the site.
While permanent speed and red-light cameras have been discussed, TMR has advised that fixed camera installations are generally prioritised based on crash history and locations with higher rates of serious incidents.
As a result, the Hercules Road and Anzac Avenue intersection is not currently identified as a priority location for permanent enforcement cameras. Mobile speed camera operations, however, continue to operate across the wider region.
Moreton Bay councillor Jim Moloney has also referred the matter to Council’s Integrated Transport and Planning Department for further investigation.
The concerns will be considered alongside local traffic and safety assessments, with Council also exploring whether the location may be suitable for future monitoring through its mobile CCTV program.
